BCL at IU besieges VC office

Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists at Islamic University unit yesterday besieged the vice-chancellor's office for two hours, protesting a syndicate meeting scheduled to be held on July 11 over the recruitment of some class one, three and four employees.
Sources said BCL had submitted their candidates list to the IU authorities and were putting pressure to recruit accordingly.
The BCL men want the authorities to approve and recruit their candidates through the syndicate meeting on July 11.
A group of BCL activists, led by Shamim Ahmed, convener of IU unit, went to the administrative building around 2:30pm yesterday and chanted slogans against Abdul Hakim, vice-chancellor of the university, for fixing the syndicate meeting without considering their demands.
They also blocked the university main gate and stopped plying of university transports.
Later, following the assurances of the authorities, the BCL men called off their agitation around 4:30pm and left the administrative building.
